Basketball Picks

BC Khimki Moscow-Unics Kazan

Second Russian cup semifinal game.First one Unics won 76-59.

Today I like total points over.Khimki have 17 deficit and will try get in finall.

I expect the same scenario like with Valencia.After first lost game in Valencia 75-59, at home Khimki play much faster basketball and at home won 97-82.In first game teams demonstrate bad shooting accuracy.Chimki two points 14/41 three points 6/17.M.Green 1/8,K.Loncar 3/14,P.Koponen 4/12,M.Popovic 0/4.Unics 6/21 three pointers.

Khimki at home play much better in offensive,Unics at guest not so good in defense like at home.Both teams have big potencial in offensive.

I expect tems will score more than 146 points.

Pick: Over 146

Panathinaikos Athens-CSKA Moscow

CSKA lost 3rd game in Athens 65-59.

Today Im with CSKA team.CSKA very bad start game,first quarter Panathinaikos won 20-11.CSKA was not prepaid for big Panathinaikos start.After first quarter CSKA won 48-45.They still have chance win,then 37min,lead 59-58.

59 points in one game is worst season result.I see more reserves on CSKA side.Today I expect CSKA players will be ready for game start.CSKA with K.Hines,N.Krstic and V.Khryapa should better fight for rebound.K.Hines in 3rd game 16min and 0 rebound,N.Krstic 23min ,only 3 reb.Panathinaikos make 13 offensive rebounds.E.Messina is better coach then F.Alvertis and I think will prepaid team for today game.

CSKA is better team,have more reserves and I expect will win today.

Pick: CSKA Moscow

Olympiacos Piraeus-Real Madrid

Real lost 3rd game 78-76.

Today I like bet on Madrid team.The same situation like with Panathinaikos team.Real was not prepaid for big Olympiacos start.Lost first quarter 23-15,after that 61-55 Real won.Olympiacos play very well.M.Lojeski,V.Spanoulis,B.Dunston,B.Petway demonstrate good basketball.I think Real team have more reserves.First game in this season, then points scored only 6 players.Big guys I.Bourousis,M.Slaughter,S.Mejri scored 0 points.N.Mirotic only 5 points.Even so Real still have a chance to win, then last minute lead 74-73,next attack G.Printezis hitted three points.

Today I expect Real Madrid will win more than 2 points.

Pick: Real Madrid-2

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

Odds: 1.92

League: Euroleague

Bulls-Wizards

At first game against Wizards team T.Thibodeau use only 8 players, without N.Mohhamed who played only 2min.J.Butler is very important player in coach system.He is only one real swingman position player in team.First game J.Butler played longest in team (44min) and score 15 points.

I expect he will play about 40 minutes and if shooting accuracy will not be very bad, he score more than 13 points.

Pick: J.Butler over 13.5

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

Odds: 1.9

Khimik-Donetsk

First semi-final game.

On this game I like Khimik handicap.Team at home demonstrate good basketball.This season at home lost only 4 times.Team have good players:P.Delaney,R.Travis,J.Shuler,M.Gatens.At home 4 games from last 5 opponents smashed about 30 points.

Thunder-Grizzlies

On this game I like M.Conley points over.N.Calathes is suspended by league,B.Udrich is not very important players and coach dont trust him.M.Conley dont have concurent in point guard position.In first game played 39 minutes and score 16 points.Field goal only 6/16,three pointers 0/6.I expect he will play about 40 minutes and if shooting accuracy will not be very bad ,he score more than 17 points.

Chicago Bulls-Washington Wizards

On this game I like Bulls team. Both teams recently time demonstrate good sport shape. Chicago Bulls at home won 8 times from last 10 games. I really like Bulls game in the second half of the season. 2014 years at home balance 20/27. Lost against Top teams: Thunder, Spurs, Clippers. Demonstrates one of the best defense in NBA league (averaged oppenents score 91.8).

I think for M.Gortat and Nene who is back in action after injury in offense will be very difficult play against J.Noah, C.Boozer and T.Gibson. Bulls key players has more experience. T.Thibodeau is better coach than R.Wittman. Last time in Chicago won Wizards 102-88 but last these teams game in Washington won Bulls 96-78.

I expect Bulls at home will win more than 4 points.

Pick: Chicago Bulls-4.5

CAI Zaragoza-Unicaja Malaga

On this game I like Unicaja.CAI Zaragoza at home demonstrate not bad basketball,this season at home balance 15/22.13 from 15 won games they was favorit of game.From 22 games ( at home ) 19 times they was favorit, lost 7 times.G.Shermadini leave a team.At this moment demonstrate wavy game.

Unicaja at this moment demonstrate good sporting shape.From last 5 games won 4.Won against Laboral Kutxa,Milano teams.Last game against Bilbao won 109-74.Team finish performance in Euroleague, focus on ACB league.All players are healthy.

CAI Zaragoza in this season two time won against Unicaja in Malaga.3rd time in a row won against Euroleague level team is difficult.I think Unicaja players need revenge

I expect Unicaja team will win more than 2 points.

Pick: Unicaja-1.5

Union Olimpija now is only 4 place in group.Team recently time dont demonstrate good basketball, but game against Zlatorog Lasko good opportunity to take a win.Union Olimpija is home team,at home balance 17/25.Team lost last 2 home games,and today I expect team will be very focus on this game.

Zlatorog Lasko at guest dont demonstrate good basketball,this season balance 3/12.

Teams was met one time this season and Union Olimpija at guest won 90-60.

I expect Union Olimpija at home will win more than 8 points.

CSKA Moscow-Panathinaikos

Second Euroleague's quarter-finals game.First game CSKA won 77-74.

In first game I was with Panathinaikos, today I'll go with CSKA.

I think after very difficult first game today it will be easier for CSKA to win the game. Big advantage on CSKA from psichological side. Panathinaikos had big chances to win but CSKA was better at the end of game. Today they play at home again and should win. In first game, I don't like Panathinaikos offense position. For 15-20 seconds they do nothing and last seconds trying to score. CSKA fights for rebounds much better.E.Messina much better coach than A.Alvertis.

Pick: CSKA Moscow-6

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

Odds: 1.97

League: Euroleague

Real Madrid-Olympiacos Piraeus

Second Euroleague's quarter-finals game. First game Real won 88-71.

Today I would like bet on Olympiacos handicap. Real look great in first game. Hited some difficult shot, S.Mejri score first three point in this season. Today I expect much better defense from Olympiakos. In first game they played fast basketball and I expect they understood that they don't have any chances to play "run and gun" style with Real team in Madrid. Olympiacos is still Euroleague champions and team is wise. In this season, more than 10 points Olympiacos has lost only two times.

I expect Olympiacos won't loose more than 10 points.

Pick: Olympiacos+10

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

Odds: 1.92

League: Euroleague

Milano-Maccabi Tel Aviv

Pick in future.I expect Maccabi will win this series.

Both teams at home is very strong.I think Milano is little lucky, when play with strongest oponnets.Game against Real lost 71-78.After very good season start, when Real team smashed everyone at that moment when played in Milano was not the best sporting shape.Real games at that moment:

13.12.13 EUR Real Madrid Strasbourg 79 : 66

07.12.13 ACB CB Canarias Real Madrid 74 : 85

05.12.13 EUR Milano Real Madrid 71 : 78

Game against Olympiakos 81-51 probably best season game.13/21 three pointers.Olympiakos was after 11 Euroleague games wins in a row.That moment Olympiacos results:

20.01.14 BAS Panathinaikos Olympiakos 58 : 48

16.01.14 EUR Olympiakos Barcelona 72 : 81

12.01.14 BAS Panionios Olympiakos 66 : 77

09.01.14 EUR Milano Olympiakos 81 : 51

Won against Laboral Kutxa and Fenerbahce teams.But these teams this season dont demonstrate good basketball.

Won against Barcelona 91-63.Not important game for Barcelona and bad sporting shape at that moment.

10.04.14 EUR Barcelona Laboral Kutxa 86 : 97

06.04.14 ACB Zaragoza Barcelona 85 : 79

02.04.14 EUR Milano Barcelona 91 : 63

Captain Alessandro Gentile will miss the first two games.

Maccabi players have more experience, better coach.

Of course Armani is very strong team ,but I expect Maccabi will win two games at home and one time in Milano.

Pick: Maccabi wil win series against Milano

CSKA Moscow-Panathinaikos Athens

First Euroleague quarter-finals game.

On this game I like Panathinaikos handicap.CSKA from last 10 games more than 8 points was won 3 times.Against Partizan,Volgograd and Neptunas teams.Others games was pretty difficult.Against Lokomotiv Kuban 94-93,Krasnye Krylya 81-77,Zalgiris 88-86,Bayern 77-70,Galatasaray 86-85.Milos Teodosic is still out.

Panathinaikos in this season more than 8 points was lost only 3 times.Team dont have problems with injuries.Demonstrate one of the best defense in Europe.Almost all players are with big experience and know how to play importants games.They are these series autsaiders,dont fell any pressure.Last year team was in the same situacion against Barcelona team and demonstrate good basketball.

I expect Panathinaikos dont loose more than 8 points.

Real Madrid-Olympiacos Piraeus

First Euroleague quarter-finals game.

Real Madrid last two games against Zalgiris and Estudiantes play easily, not 100% power. Today team will be very focus, of course still remember last Euroleague final in London. I expect team will start game very focus on defense.

Olympiacos Piraeus demonstrate very good defense.I expect team will try play slow, won't run.

I expect very good defense from both teams at the beggining of the game.

Brooklyn Nets-Orlando Magic

Brooklyn Nets pretty safe seed in 5 place in the Eastern Conference. No chance to get in 4th place and probably to fall to 6th place. Nets from 79 games won 43 lost 36. Wizards from 80 games won 42 lost 38 and left games against Heat and Celtics. Orlando Magic don't have chance to get into playoff.

I expect J.Kidd will start resting key players. Last game against Hawks all players played 20-30 min. Team still have problems with injuries: Deron Williams with knee, Shaun Livingston with toe. P.Pierce 37 years, K.Garnett 38.

In this season was met 3 times:

Orlando Magic Brooklyn Nets 115 : 111

Brooklyn Nets Orlando Magic 101 : 90

Orlando Magic Brooklyn Nets 107 : 86

I expect Orlando Magic dont loose more than 11 points.

Chicago Bulls demonstrates good basketball. At guest won 8 games from last 10. Offense is good. At guest from last 10 games 7 games score 100 and more points.

Second BBL final game.First game Siauliai won 62-57.

Bookmakers after not hight scoring game give 151 points total ( first game give 156 points ) Now we have 5 points less total.

Today Prienai play at home and I expect much more points than first game.Prienai at home play much faster.L.Kisielius and A.Siksnius was back to action.

In first game teams demonstrate very bad shooting accuracy.Siauliai 4/20 three points, Prienai 9/35.Two points Siauliai -18/38,Prienai- 10/26.

Teams have good shooters:Prienai-M.Lukauskis,G.Kadziulis,A.Siksnius,L.Kisielius.Sia uliai:T.Leslie,R.Giedraitis,D.Neeedham.

Prienai at home from last 10 games only one times scoring less than 151 points.In the end of game could be many free throws or overtime.

KK Prienai-TU/ Rock

Second BBL semifinal game. First game won Prienai 68-66.

From this game I like over. Prienai at home play much faster and better offense. At home last 8 games was more than 144 points. Team still have problems with injuries. Last game against Nevezis play without L.Kisielius and A.Siksnius. With short players rotation, they are not so good in defense.

TU/ Rock recently time demonstrate not bad offense. Opponents in Estian league is weaker than Prienai, but team still have good shooters: J.Talts, V.Simpson, V.Dilys.

In the end of game could be many free throws or overtime.
